For me....

Oversharing and texting too much. I am so bad at controlling this impulse. So. Bad. At. It.

Reduce the word vomit I text to my partner. I was deleting messages today and realized that I just chatter all friggin day to him. From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. I'm getting 2-3 word responses. No engagement from him. He is basically patting me on the head for comfort. And often times, I am complaining about things he cannot fix. Such a turn off!

My partner and I don't get to see each other often due to various obligations, and so I think I am trying to make it feel like he is always with me with my bullshit chatter. I am trying to control the attention I get from him and it's not flattering. I have noticed that we have been butting heads a lot lately. And truly, I think it's cause I am suffocating him. Does he care that I found a cute baby yoda cup at Wal Mart? Or the cute dog pic? Or my meal prep pics? Zero percent. He doesn't care. That's crap I need to send my friends.

What does he like to talk about? He generally loves when we talk about a current events. We both generally have the same values, but we do enjoy fleshing out our thoughts. Loves when I flirt and compliment him.

The goal is to improve the quality of our conversations and create a bit of mystery again. Give him a reason to ask me what I am up to. To be a soft happy place for him to land when he does text/call me or when we have date night.
